Once upon a time, shopping in the nation’s capitol was defined by a plethora of malls in Chevy Chase, Tyson’s Corner and Georgetown. Nothing existed to represent the city’s true and natural style. Little by little, with the help of bold creatives, a new and unique community-connected shopping experience is blooming in DC. The people [...]

Local band Pash has played hundreds of shows, traveled thousands of miles, and worked with some of the District’s greatest local artists. After eight years of touring Pash will be playing it’s final show at Black Cat tonight. I had the pleasure of catching up with guitarist Erik Bruner-Yang to hear some stories of the [...]

My neighborhood was originally built for the people who worked at the Navy Yard. They’d walk across the 11th Street Bridge to work on ships and weapons. These days I walk across the bridge to get to Barracks Row.

Want to know what’s happening across the river in Anacostia? David Garber is [...]

Reminders of snomaggeden, snopocalypse, snOMG or whatever you want to call it are still around us. Once white and puffy snow banks are now blocks of ice coated with charcoal grey clogging city streets. Residents have marked their parking spots with garbage cans, chairs, cones or whatever they can find to signal, “hey I shoveled [...]

I love that DC is filled with smart people.

Forgive us President Obama but Philippa Hughes might have the coolest title in town, as Chief Creative Contrarian for the Pink Line Project. Whether she’s hosting her intimate Salon Contra or in front of hundreds at Union Station handing out awards for Red Bull’s Art of Can, [...]

We live for the art…. it tends to be the focus of an inordinate amount of our conversations. To have a wedding in any traditional manner would have been totally out of character.

Tomorrow at 6:30pm, two DC artists will wed. This wedding will take place as the opening reception to their show “Til Death Do Us [...]

Judah, a respected DC-based producer, who’s latest mix was featured here last week, is bringing unity and camaraderie to the district. He combines music with a message, simultaneously inspiring, beat-making, and supporting local talent. Judah was nice enough to take time out of his schedule and answer a few key questions about hip-hop in the DMV.

I want to shake people up a bit and get them to understand that you should be following your passion right now, every single minute. If you are not doing that you are wasting your time.

I really love how complicated this town is. I still haven’t figured it out, so it keeps calling me to stay. This is home now.

JY: So what brought you to DC?
SeanP: I’m originally from New Jersey. A very rural town with lots of farmland, but we were 30 minutes away from everything, so it was [...]

I feel like there’s an energy to DC currently that I haven’t felt anywhere else and haven’t really experienced here for a long time … I think for the first time in a while people seem to be looking forward.

There’s something special and unique about shooting street.  It’s real.  It’s true slices of life as we see it, and many times slices life as the rest of us miss it.

I’ll admit it, when I first purchased my iPhone a little over a year ago; I told myself I wouldn’t have much use for the [...]

Cory Oberndorfer the artist behind this weekend’s “Uncle Cory’s Art Show” invited us to his studio as he prepared for the show to talk about his work, the DC art scene, and his driver’s side mirror. The opening of Uncle Cory’s Art Show goes down at The Fridge on Saturday January 9 [...]

The first time I saw Matthew Hemerlein grace a stage I had just left from an Andrew Bird show and was under the impression that I had gotten my lifetime fill of violin playing. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The moment he and DC’s U.S Royalty turned up the volume and began to cover the Talking Heads’ “This Must Be the Place” -I was hooked. Besides being an extremely talented musician, Matthew is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I was able to spend a morning talking with Matthew about his evolution as a musician, his future plans, and his involvement in the ever-growing DC artistic community.
